A great way to to get the most from a visit to the Imperial City. - We took a walking tour of the Hue Imperial City with Trinh who was an interesting and entertaining guide. We were fortunate that there were only three of us in the group, and Trinh was able to share her knowledge of the history of Imperial Hue while we managed to see a lot of the very large site. Trinh’s English was very good and she was easy to understand. Not only did we learn about the history but Trinh shared lots of facets of life in Hue with us.
The tour was well paced and allowed time for photography and a few short breaks.
Starting early at 8.30 was essential to beat the midday heat.
A great tour of a wonderful site!
